INVESTMENT

Your initial investment to become a broker with Caravan Depot is very low when compared to the speed that you can recoup that investment. A successful broker will comfortably recoup their investment in their first year with us.

The initial franchise fee is £20,000 plus VAT.  This is a work from home business, so overheads are low and below are details of the set up package you will receive on commencement. The only things you will need in addition are a presentable car and an office or workspace at home if you wish to take on a brokerage site, and a plot of land / small premises with appropriate facilities if you wish to retail any caravans.

As with most major franchise systems, we aim to take advantage of our collective size and buying power to fund national advertising campaigns and promote the strength of our brand.  This is paid for through our central marketing fund which all of our brokers contribute towards.

Joining us may not be a purely business proposition for you and factors such as lifestyle may carry equal weight. However, it is important that you satisfy yourself that joining us represents a very sound financial decision. We will be happy to discuss all aspects of your investment including the current financial performance of our franchisees.

The initial franchise fee includes:

• A five-year franchise agreement with the potential for an automatic free renewal after five years.
• An exclusive franchise territory
• An induction and training programme into caravan brokerage or retailing and the associated systems
• An operations manual covering all aspects of operating the business
• A bespoke monitoring and management software to manage your business
• A laptop computer and printer
• Corporate clothing
• Launch marketing material

Your ongoing royalties are based on your success and the level of business you achieve. The royalty is 20% of your gross revenue plus VAT and includes:

• License to use of our proven business model.
• The use of our trademarked branding and trade names.
• Use of our market leading website and multi-site scraping system.
• Ongoing training and development.
• Head office support.
• Head office financial transaction management and money handling.
• Continued business innovation and development.
